Newborn Behavioural Observation (NBO) Live Online Workshop for Professionals Working with High-Risk Infants
October 13 @ 1:30 pm - 5:30 pm
What is the NBO system?
The Newborn Behavioural Observations (NBO) system is a relationship building tool that fosters a positive parent-infant interactive relationship. A supportive, nurturing relationship that is sensitive and responsive to the infant’s needs is a sign of parents’ successful adaptation to parenting and optimises their infant’s neurological and psychological development.
Is this course for me?
This workshop is for professionals working with young infants age 0-3 months who may have a range of complex medical and surgical conditions, including infants in NICU and SCBU, and for professionals providing post-hospital care or developmental follow-up for families in the community.
It will appeal to Neonatal Nurses and Doctors, Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, Speech & Language Therapists, general practitioners, (enhanced) maternal and child health nurses, child and family health nurses, mental health professionals and others working with high-risk infants and their families.
How is it similar and different to the standard NBO course?
This course incorporates the same curriculum, theoretical content, and certification process as our other NBO workshops. In addition, the workshop will include particular considerations of implementing the NBO when working with high-risk infants and their families up to infant age of approximately 3 months (corrected for premature birth if relevant).
The case studies and videos will illustrate how the NBO can be implemented in practice to support babies and families where additional risks may challenge the infant’s abilities for self-regulation, social interaction and/or the parent-infant relationship.
Participating professionals will be supported in reading and responding to infant regulatory-dysregulatory signals and providing and promoting neuro-protective, nurturing care for vulnerable young infants, through the video material and reflective small-group discussion.

Workshop Day One: Sunday 13 October 2024, 1:30-5:30pm AEDT
